We're dividing 227172 by 74 
We're looking to find how many times 74 goes into 227172.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 74

Moving on to step 2:
74 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 74

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 227 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 222 from 227 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 74

On to step 4:
If we divide 51 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 51 to get 51.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 517 / 74

Let's proceed to step 5:
517 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 73.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 306.0
If we take 444 away from 517, we end up with 73.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 732 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 732 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 66.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3069.0
If we take 666 away from 732, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
660 divided by 74 is 8 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3069.8
Subtracting 592 from 660 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
74 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3069.89
If we take 666 away from 680, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
74 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3069.891
Subtracting 74 from 140 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 74 fits into 660 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3069.8918
Deduct 592 from 660 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
680 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3069.89189
Subtracting 666 from 680 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 74, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3069.891891
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 74 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
74 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3069.8918918
If we subtract 592 from 660, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 680 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3069.89189189
Deduct 666 from 680 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3069.89189189 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
